I have an awful cold right now. It's making me miserable.

I'm not usually one to do an about me kind of thing. I figure everyone finds out enough about me through my other posts.

General stuff. I'm a divorcee.. that's so weird to say. I got married when I was 18. Married 2 yrs, seperated a yr and then finally divorced Nov '04.

I...

What was it like being married so young? You don't have to tell if you're not comfortable with the topic, of course. I'm just curious.

We get clients in occasionally who got married as young as 14 -- there was one the other day who'd married at 14 and then her husband basically kept her in the house until she was 19, so she hadn't finished school beyond ninth grade and then had to try to make it on her own. It's rough, trying to get by like it. That particular lady's doing pretty damn well considering the hand that fate dealt her.

A mink blanket sounds [i[so decadent. wink

Evercrack is the devil! Be glad you shook that addiction. That game should seriously have been classified as a drug when it first came out.

In general I am not going to say getting married young is bad. With the right person who treats you right and wants to see you advance in life as much as them it could work and has worked for quite a few ppl I know. In the situation of that young girl and myself though.. you end up with controling jerks. First step they completely alienate you from your family and friends making it so you think the only person you can rely on is them and then from there it just gets worse.

I like to count myself in with the lucky few who escape an abusive marriage alive and not in a body bag. For many young women they aren't so lucky. Plus, as much as he tried he couldn't push my Mom out of the picture or my friend Christy whom I dedicate my living to. She met me when we both lived on Ft.Campbell and she is credited with dragging me out of the house and making dinner late so many nights the very sight of her made my ex turn a bright red color, lol. Those two women were strong for me when I couldn't be and I could never thank them enough. It was hard. Finding a job, getting on my feet. Waking up in the middle of the night with death threats ringing in my ears but I made it and learned from it; so in the end that's all you can hope for.

I have to say in a choice btwn crack and evercrack I would go with EQ. It's cheaper and healthier and less illegal, lol.

Health care at the end of life is a difficult situation for everyone involved at the best of times, but I'm sorry to hear that your friend's (or just boss'? I'm not sure) grandfather had such a rough time at the end. There are limits to what doctors and nurses can legally and ethically do, but there's no excuse for that kind of neglect.

Work was intersting to say the least. I got asked for my phone number and was like wtf!? His approach was rather original and cute in that shy guy kind of way so I couldn't resist. That and I was majorly shocked. To think back on it now, it's kind of an oops wth did I just do, b/c I am currently with someone. E...

Looking through my pics thinking I might actually put one of myself in the profile pic thingy.. but after many attempts at resizing etc I have come to the conclusion it will never turn out right and everyone is better off looking at Keilala.

Laundry is one of the most exhausting chores ever. Then after all that it's off to work. I think I was...

Hey -- thanks for the rat advice. smile

Re: putting a picture of yourself in the profile, that's a decision only you can make. But if you're applying to be an SG, you're going to end up with a picture of yourself in the profile anyway... so might as well get resigned to it. wink

Lol, having a pic of me is something I would like up there but I am picture resizing illiterate it would seem.

Work again.. when does it ever stop. I have found that while animals are nice.. the ones in cages take alot of cleaning to keep it from being smelly. Last week Cocoa the rat had babies. So I put off cleaning as long as possible so as to not upset her b/c I didn't want her killing her babies. Finally yesterday I was like omg...

Hey there.

Just wanted to say hi as a fellow newbie. I love the snake pic! I don't have any rats (though I've always wanted to get one), but I'm a nut for hamsters.
melixanna:
heh, thanks for the nice welcome sweetie. wasn't expecting a comment already. I saw the pics of your hamster, absolutely adorable but to tell the honest truth I am terrified of hamsters. completely and utterly! See, I work in the retail pet business a.k.a I work in a pet store. It's family owned, I am the only non family person that works there. Since I am the least afraid of snakes and other reptiles that's my specialty, my area, but in the course of customer service such as it is I am at times forced to pretend I like hamsters and let people hold them all the while trying my damndest not to go EEEEEEK and run away, lol. I had a hamster when I was little and it went insane and started chasing me, which might explain my odd fear of them.
